Question

$\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{COCl}$ does not react with:

• A. diethyl ether
• B. phenol
• C. ethanol
• D. aniline

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

phenol

Answer 2

${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}+C{{H}_{3}}\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,Cl\xrightarrow{ZnC{{l}_{2}}}$ ${{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cl+C{{H}_{3}}COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}$
$C{{H}_{3}}COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}+HCl$
Aceryl chloride does not react direct with phenol. Firstly phenol reacts with alkali to form sodium phenoxide which reacts with acetyl, chloride to give phenyl acetate.
